TOPICImpact Of Textile

Sector On Environment

INTRODUCTION Textile impact is considered to be the most

polluting element emitted from the textile industry. It affects the environment very badly. In the developing country like Bangladesh, this condition is more eyes catching. The effluent becomes the source of pollution of the environment.It pollutes the surface and subsurface water, soil and air. Now a day, its proper management and remedial measures like disposal system has become the most serious challenges all over the world and also in Bangladesh.

Impacts of Textile Effluent on environment

Generally, the textile industries release a large amount of effluents, which contain toxic and hazardous pollutants degrades the environment very badly. Textile industrial effluents also show toxic effects on aquatic macrophytes and algae, as it is noticed that, aquatic macrophytes could hardly survive 2 days on textile effluent.

Pollution of soil

Textile effluent pollutes the

soil. Soil is the most important medium for growing plant, bushes, crops etc. The quality of crops depends upon the quality of soil. So, when the quality of soil decreases due to industrial effluent, the amount and quality of crops also decreases. It is also seen that, the lower lands becomes more polluted than the higher lands. Because, the effluents ultimately deposited in the lower lands.

Water Pollution

Water pollution is considered to be the biggest environmental threat all over the world. Generally, surface water is used for dyeing,printing,sizing,bleaching etc.These water mix with river water and the water gets polluted.

Some effect of water pollution

Categories of Air Pollution

Air pollution is categorized by the emissions

• Carbon di oxide• Aerosol fumes and gases• Toxic gases• Smoke and • Dust

Major Air Pollution In Textile

• The major air pollution problem in the textile industry occurs during the finishing stages, where various processes are employed for coating the fabrics.

• Coating materials include lubricating oils, plasticizers, paints and water repellent chemicals essentially, organic compounds.

• such as: oils, waxes or solvents.

Different gases & effects

Hazardous waste

Even when used properly, many chemicals can still harm human health and the environment. When these hazardous substances are thrown away, they become hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is most often a by-product of a manufacturing process - material left after products are made. Some hazardous wastes come from our homes: our garbage can include such hazardous wastes as old batteries, bug spray cans, and paint thinner. Regardless of the source, unless we dispose of hazardous waste properly, it can create health risks for people and damage the environment.

How can hazardous waste affect us?

When hazardous wastes are released in the air, water, or on the land they can spread, contaminating even more of the environment and posing greater threats to our health. For example, when rain falls on soil at a waste site, it can carry hazardous waste deeper into the ground and the underlying groundwater. If a very small amount of a hazardous substance is released, it may become diluted to the point where it will not cause injury. A hazardous substance can cause injury or death to a person, plant, or animal .

Impacts of solid waste on Environment

Waste breaks down in landfills to form methane, a potent greenhouse gas

Change in climate and destruction of ozone layer due to waste biodegradable

Littering, due to waste pollutions, illegal dumping, Leaching: is a process by which solid waste enter soil and ground water and contaminating them.

Things to Do By Increasing Awareness If we want to reduce the bad impacts of Textile Effluent on

environment we should be aware of the bad effects of the Effluent. The authority of the Textile industry should be aware of it. The authorities always look for their benefits, but they should also look for the healthy environment.

By maintaining Government rules and regulations The government of every country put some rules and

regulations for the industries. So, the authority of the industry should maintain the government rules and regulations.

Conclusion

From the above discussion it is noticed that, textile effluent pollutes the environment very badly. So we should pay a great attention to eradicate the environment pollution from effluent and save the environment.
